One Day...
AH elite
Hello;
I will be hunting trophy elephant in Zimbabwe in the Zambezi valley, just north of Hwange National Park this coming August 2021.
My primary rifle will be my Krieghoff double .470 NE. The hunting area includes both dense bush where the .470 will be perfect at 15 to 50 yards, but also more open areas where it may not be possible to get within 50 yards. For this, I would also like to take along my scoped R8 .375 H&H. I discussed with the PH and he recommends that I carry the .470 while one of the trackers carries the .375 so that we can face any situation and decide as appropriate.
While I have .375 H&H 300 gr factory ammo PPU (practice), Federal Partition (cats) and Barnes TSX (Buff), I do not have any solid for Ele...
The ammo situation in the US being currently what it is, I am not sure shelves will be replenished on time for the hunt (and re-sighting the .375 before the hunt). I know that it is still 5 months away, but I would rather be safe than sorry...
Would any AH inmate living in the US have 40 (or 60 if available) rounds to spare of either:
I am of course willing to pay a premium over typical store price.
Thanks in advance
